Great if masking. I hate masking canopies. But a year or so i discovered the tamiya flexible masking tape. Its a whitish color instead the yellow standard masking tape. Comes in different widths too. It works great for blown frameless canopies. Just 2 cents. Great tutorial video. Keep them coming.

[@MMScaleModels]

Yeah, I tried that but its a bit thick for my taste. In any case everyone should use what works best in their case.

I've never considered painting the *interior* color as a base coat for the outside! I'll have to try that and see what it looks like from different angles.

[@MMScaleModels]

If the inside is unpainted it looks a bit odd because it is super glossy.

[@brentbeck7984]

I tried out your technique this morning and it was great! I used the precut masks that came with the kit but they were too long as I discovered after pulling them off. I used your technique and it worked out great! I was able to mask the outside windscreen in a few minutes so I thought I'd try the inside as well. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@MMScaleModels]

Hey Brent, that's nice to read. It is really great to know that my videos help. Thanks for sharing.

[@moitoi4064]

You can also do the lazy technique as follows. After masking the outside of the canopy apply a coat of the color you choose for the inside then apply another coat of paint the color of the outside. This technique saves you time and spares you the chore of masking and painting the inside of the canopy.

[@pichueka]

While it may be a given for many modelers, a first step can be to clean the plastic (and with clear plastic to do it without making scratches) to remove any oils or contaminants including finger oils. And then to avoid touching the plastic with bare fingers after that.

[@MMScaleModels]

Yup, i almost always use gloves

[@trainliker100]

@@MMScaleModels I often use just one glove. Especially if painting where I handle the part in the gloved hand and the airbrush with the ungloved hand. I find it makes holding and operting the airbrush more comfortable and I don't go through a box of gloves as fast. Either that, or I'm trying to channel Michael Jackson.

[@kevinsharkey1336]

Great advice, many thanks and best wishes.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, best 👍

[@corneliuscrewe677]

When I was much younger and still in possession of fine motor skills I prided myself on my ability to hand paint canopies and other various small parts. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I can’t even see well enough up close to do it anymore, to say nothing of being able to make my hands work properly.

[@MMScaleModels]

Its a preference thing I guess. Mine is to airbrush as much details as possible and keep brush painting to a minimum.

[@adamweaver6351]

This is a tedious method but your results are excellent. Better than mine. I dip my clear parts in gloss clear (future floor polish works well) for a protective layer, then paint the frame as best I can. Using water based paint, I can scrape any blemishes using a toothpick. Works well for me so far.

[@MMScaleModels]

Whatever works best for you mate, that's the most important thing.

[@chilarai1]

Excellent tips, especially the one to cut the tape at an angle. One idea for interior that I got from another video: paint the top (outter) masked canopy with the colour of the cockpit, ie. light green. Let it dry then paint the exterior colour on top of the first colour. The cockpit colour will show on the inside. I will do this on my next model. My eyes and hands simply won't allow the level of work you do! 😁

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, the issue that I have with only painting the outside frames with the interior color first is that they appear a bit distant from the internal surface and then the surface is super glossy.

Great video mate, thank you! I really struggle to get liquid mask to sit properly, and never thought to use it in conjunction with tape!

[@davemardon6756]

To add to this fine video.....Mix up a small amount of dish soap and water...Brush it on the canopy. The soap/water mixture allows you to slide the masking tape around a bit easier for better/easy placement. No hard and fast rule for the mixture....I usually use something like 80% (water) to 15-20% glue. This is almost a requirement when using after market canopy masks.

I use the White glue method of masking off the clear sections of canopies. White glue won't attack the plastic like some liquid masks do. But this is definitely a good alternative. Thanks for sharing.

[@MMScaleModels]

I personally haven't had issues with masking fluids, but I have only used 2 brands. I've heard that the plastic used in some canopies is susceptible to damage from masking fluids rather than making fluids being generally aggressive. This is interesting topic and I would love to know more.

G'day MM, That's very impressive. I don't think I've got steady enough hands to manipulate the narrow masking tape but I'll give it a go.The commercial cockpit masks are way too expensive for what you get. You are right, sometimes they just don't fit the canopies they are supposed to fit. Just yesterday I purchased some masking liquid so it's great that I've now learned how to use it from an expert. Thank you! BH

[@MMScaleModels]

Hi Bill, thanks. It is worth the try, besides the tape is fairly easy to reposition so i guess a bit of shakiness cannot be a big issue.

[@ModelNerd]

Thank you - these are really useful tips. Canopy masking is one task I really don't like but it makes such a big difference to a kit.

[@guinefortCH]

[@VideoCesar07]

Great video. Yes, 10 mins applying a single strand of tape will pay off a lot more with the time you will save fixing it but using another product that will supposedly do the whole part in 2 mins. Struggling a bit with masking some curved surfaces, not canopies and completely forgot the simple fact that wider tape is harder to contour to a curve. There are many, many options for hobby tape, especially Tamiya's flexible tape which is great, but I always like to have other options available so I don't come to a dead stop if I don't have my go-to product available. Except for certain applications like some bubble canopies or even wheels, I really don't use masking fluid much. I thought it was great when I first heard about it but quickly found out it is hard to get a clean cut, even with a sharp blade, and it requires a lot more pressure to cut, which can result in damage to the paint or even the model. Two thumbs up.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate! I haven't used Tamiya's flexible tape yet so I can't give my opinion on that. There are different types of masking liquid. Some can be cut some cannot. My experience shows that the masking liquid is easier to remove when it is applied in thicker layer.

[@the_answeris6694]

I used to use clear plastic tape and a sharp knife to trim it off the areas to paint. Then I would spray zinc chromate first, then the aircraft color second. Worked fine.

[@MMScaleModels]

Doesn't that tape leave residue?

[@the_answeris6694]

@@MMScaleModels -- No. For some reason when you spray paint tape it doesn't seem to get sticky with plastic. Don't know why. And any residue that does occur can be cleaned with some alcohol. I've never had a problem. But you have to use clear plastic tape, not the magic tape that is kind of cloudy.

[@MMScaleModels]

I see, have to try that on some scrap canopy.

[@josephstabile9154]

[@SuperTexasBlues]

for the interior color on the canopy, I mask the outside and spray the cockpit interior color first... after that dries, i lay down the exterior color... once installed, the canopy has the interior color visible from the inside, and the exterior on the outside... just a different method for the same effect

[@MMScaleModels]

I would argue the effect is not the same because you will still have the shiny plastic look on the inside and depending on the thickness of the canopy other distortion defects.

[@SuperTexasBlues]

Based on scale, I agree... I just started strips with masking fluid the day before I saw this video Thanks for the most excellent channel!

[@idleonlooker1078]

Nice vid, but have you ever tried masking with "Parafilm"? It's a much easier option: just stretch, lay over the surface, burnish down - using the heat of your fingers, or a warm cotton tip - and gently trim back with a sharp scalpel. Tamiya tape is just too prone to losing its' adhesion after manipulating it into position - and after burnishing - that causes the paint to run underneath. 👍

[@MMScaleModels]

I am having that idea of parafilm since ages but it is not available here (afaik)... got to order some, looks like it is a useful product. In this case I used Lion Roar tape and it is rock solid... I only have the widest tamiya tape and I am not very happy with it, don't know if the others are the same.

[@idleonlooker1078]

@@MMScaleModels Try getting it on eBay or Amazon? It really is great stuff, and to "activate it" you have to pull it until it's really thin. When you do, it conforms to any complex surface or bends. I now use it more frequently than Tamiya tape, and I garuantee that once you start using it, you won't go back to any tapes. I also use it - in it's designed use - to seal my bottles of paint and thinners against evaporation. Best of luck!! 👍

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, can it be used as camo mask, I mean can you cut it to shape before you apply it to the model?

[@idleonlooker1078]

@@MMScaleModels Yes - in that I lay Parafilm to overlap the area to be masked, and then VERY gently trim back with a sharp scalpel. This gives a "hard" demarcation line, unlike a "soft" one when using "sausages" of blue-tack. It's great to mask off panels: running a scalpel inside the the recessed panel line as a guide For trimming. For a "soft" demarcation line, I lay and press down a piece , or pieces, of Parafilm 3-4mm away from (and inside of) the "soft" demarcation I want. Then, I lay a piece, or pieces of Tamiya tape - again staying inside of the area I want masked - over the area to be covered. Lastly I then finish with a sausage of blue-tack to define the "soft" demarcation line I want. Parafilm will adhere to blue-tack, making the points of contact unusable because of the mixing of these different masking mediums. That's why in the above method I ensure that Tamiya tape separates the two. Also, once pressed down and stuck into place using the heat of your fingers, Parafilm is an inert product, and will stay put and won't come unstuck or move. I've come back, months later, to finish canopies and masked off areas of projects, and found the Parafilm still perfectly and solidly in place without affecting the underlying plastic or paint in any way (unlike Tamiya tape!!). Parafilm isn't affected by paints or gloss/matt coats either. Invariably the last thing I remove from my completed model (using a toothpick) is the Parafilm mask covering the canopy. No matter what paint, or how many coats have been applied, the Parafilm comes off leaving the canopy in pristine condition. It's great stuff, and is far cheaper and more versatile than tape. I hope you get some and start using it in future videos!! Cheers! 👍

Hi There. I've just tried your masking technique over the weekend and I found it brilliant and rather easy, I wasn't brave enough to mask the inside the canopy but I'll certainly give it a go on my next build, I did have a little paint bleed as there was an area I didn't burnish down enough.So thank you for a really useful how to.

[@MMScaleModels]

Glad it helped and thanks for sharing your experience!

[@jesusdapena1296]

To prevent bleeding under the mask, don't ever let the paint pool. With the airbrush, press down for air, and then pull the trigger back a tiny bit, just enough that the frame very gradually acquires the desired color. Clean the nozzle often (with a Q-tip soaked in airbrush cleaner) to prevent dried paint from accumulating there. I do this after every 10 or 15 seconds of shooting, whether I think the nozzle needs it at that time or not! After each Q-tip treatment, make one or two airshots away from the model (without pulling back for any paint) to make sure that no cleaner gets spit into the model when you resume your painting.
